“T”, a woman suffering from epilepsy and diagnosed with homelessness-related PTSD, is racing against the clock to secure an apartment with her wife “C” before her housing voucher expires in three months. Though both only 28, T and C’s life as a couple on the streets spans over two decades and across the expanse of Los Angeles. In the multimedia piece ‘Home Is Where the Heart Is,’ their experience of homelessness—as well as the resulting disenfranchisement, determination, and close-knit community—is told through their own words and Kim’s reflections across an online map of the city.
